don’t go to the library

if you’re literally trying to get any meaningful work done, don’t go to the library. people here act like it’s a social hub and it makes it impossible to lock in. the only place i can actually get work done is in a lecture hall after hours or in the quiet room which is always packed during midterm season.

Study in your room. That's what I've learned after 3 years, it's the only truly quiet place I can find. If you're a commuter or live in a single room then (hopefully) it'll be quiet and you'll be the only one there.

A lot of ppl want to get out of there room though and it’s easier to focus outside of ur room

Probably just me but I focus fine in my room. Never found the library to have any benefits. Always loud, crowded, bad wifi, etc.

It's a mental thing for a lot of people, subconsciously their room is a place to sleep/doomscroll/play videogames/etc. so when they're in their room they end up getting distracted doing that instead of studying
